Best Western Plus Park Place Inn – Mini Suites

I had absolutely no problem with this hotel. It’s a really plain and simple hotel, but their location to Disneyland is beyond perfect. My girlfriend and I found it really convenient to be able to walk across the street to Disneyland. If you’re debating on whether or not to book the actual Disney hotels, I would suggest this hotel instead. You save a lot of money and time.

The staff at this place was amazing. I want to thank them sooooo much. I accidentally left my tablet there. They were kind enough to call us while we were on road to let me know that they found my tablet and they wanted to mail it to me. Oh ya and to the staff of the Best Western… Thanks soo much I appreciate you guys!

Close to Disneyland and relatively clean. The breakfast was decent.
However, the noise of this hotel past 10pm and as early as 5am is ridiculous. The walls must be paper thin because we could hear every word spoken outside on the walkway and the people upstairs sounded like elephants stomping around at 5am. The carpets are also very dirty and need cleaning. I don’t recommend walking barefoot in your room. Outlets are all loose, so anything plugged in falls out almost immediately.

Great for what it offers. Reasonably priced rooms, clean. Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Free simple breakfast across the street included. Superb location directly across the street from the park; you can’t get closer. Wifi is a bit slow, but otherwise I recommend the best western very highly if you’re doing Disneyland.

This has by far been the worst stay if my life especially for the amount that I paid!!! $ 353 was charged to my card for two nights for me and my father. The area is far from the greatest someone’s backyard/​apartments are right outside my window school basketball court lights are just to the left of the window, there’s a Third story right above that you can hear everyone’s foot steps and any shower or flush makes a horrible noise

Love love love this hotel!!!
Cross the street and find yourself in the Happiest Place on Earth!!!
If you’re anything like me and go to Disneyland to be at Disneyland from open til close, this place is perfect for you! Walking from our hotel room to the entrance of California Adventure took us 4 minutes. And we had a stroller! After a long day, being back in our hotel room in the same amount of time feels awesome as well!
My family and I stayed here this past weekend for a spontaneous Disneyland Trip, and I couldn’t be more happy with our stay. Check-​in was a breeze. The ladies at the front counter are genuinely friendly and so helpful. Luckily, we got a room right up at the front, so we were even closer to the park!
As for the room itself, it was very clean and the bed was very comfy! And really, that’s all that’s important. The free continental breakfast isn’t great, but we went anyway to grab some fruit, yogurt and cereal to bring into the park.
We will be back for sure, considering there are available rooms. This place fills up fast!

I’m a Diamond member (benefits after staying 30 nights) and I’ve NEVER been given an upgrade. The Gen Manager: Lilian Wendlandt and Res Manager: Nancy Moreno told Best Western’s Customer Care Dept that if I wanted the upgrade, they would give me one for $ 30. I told BW not to bother calling back Lilian or Nancy. I don’t recommend spending $ 6,000 to stay at BW’s for 30 nights because the Diamond Status means nothing at this location (not even a late check-​out).
Their whole mantra of «because every BW is independantly owned and operated, there will always be someone there that cares» is actually their achilles heel. I have NEVER felt that anyone cares who about my status or stay. I’ve never had an owner check me in and personally see how i’m treated.
I prefer the standardized policies of Starwood and Hilton (where I ALWAYS get a free upgrade as a Gold member of their rewards programs) rather than at the discretion of each individual location like the practices at Best Western.
Taking your BW nights to Starwood (to go from Gold to Platinum) and Hilton (from Gold to Diamond) will net you REAL rewards that are ALWAYS available (in my experience).

I used to make a point to try and stay here every time we came to Disneyland and this was my favorite good neighbor hotel… you still can not go wrong with the location for sure BUT I must say I was very disappointed with my last stay! It was very dirty this time… the toilet had Poop on it and did not appear to have been cleaned at all I had to clean it with my wipes I brought just to use it! I had purple nerd candy stuck to my feet and we had none with us… The carpet did not appear to be vacuumed! Then in the evening when I pushed the bed over a little so baby didn’t fall off it was dirty and looked like it had not been vacuumed in months. I pulled the fitted sheet back to look for bed bugs there was a huge stain on the mattress it was either chocolate milk or blood but a huge stain!!! I wish I would have taken a picture. I did bring the dirty toilet issue up to the staff at the front desk during my stay and did a survey later but I can tell they did not care because of the great location they will stay busy anyway! I suggest bringing Clorox wipes!

Pros:
Closest non-​Disney hotel to the main entrance. The driveway is the fourth piece that connects to the bus terminal and harbor. 3 minute walk to security if you miss the walk light.
Cheap. You can get a pretty good deal, even compared to non Disney hotels nearby.
Comfortable beds, pool (didn’t use) can schedule early housekeeping so you can come back and nap, GREAT continental breakfast (hot breakfast included eggs potatoes and French toast.)
ONLY con:
Noise. We were in the front of the hotel in the King suite and we can hear traffic noise. On top of that, we were next to a stairwell that had people leaving to get to breakfast or the park early (7 am) until the park closed (past midnight). Gap in door didn’t help. Would be best if you were further off of the main road and away from stairwells.

Great hotel for adults, at a great price with a continental breakfast. Right across the street from Disneyland. There is nothing fancy about this hotel, but it’s not horrible either. For me, when I go to Disneyland, I want a decent room, close to Disneyland, which is exactly what this hotel is. We will stay here again.
The pool is very small and in a fully shaded area. If I had children with me, I would look for a different hotel with a bigger pool area.

Considering how darn close this Best Western is to Disneyland, you really can’t do any better. We came here in mid December during the week. It was comparable price (~$ 130 a night) to the other hotels next to it on S Harbor. If you have young kids, or are lazy like me and don’t want to walk, this is a great place to stay while going to Disneyland. It is incredibly close, which is a huge plus if you don’t want to spend 20 minutes walking to your hotel after spending the whole day walking at the parks.
The hotel is perfectly clean; I walked around barefoot in the room. The room is fairly standard for a motel. Nothing spectacular, but if you’re planning on going to Disneyland and spending the whole day in the parks, all you really want is a clean room to sleep in anyway. We had no problems with noise (we were on the first floor), but we left early in the morning and came back late at night, so I don’t know how it is in the day time. I know they charge for parking, but so do pretty much all of the other hotels on S Harbor (from what I could tell, the hotels that didn’t had room prices that were $ 10 – 15 more a night anyway, so it evens out). I believe they have wifi, but I don’t remember if we used it or not, so I can’t really comment on how it is.
Another thing that sets this place apart, and why I picked it over the other hotels on S Harbor, is the included breakfast. For an included breakfast it’s pretty great. Granted, you’re not going to get a 5 star meal, but it was well worth it to save money (eating in the parks or anywhere right around Disneyland can be so expensive). They have a bunch of different juices, coffee, milk, tea, cereal, bagels, pastries, muffins, donuts, as well as hot foods which differ a bit day to day (when we were there they had scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, waffles, and potatoes). It’s all decent quality (again, it’s not a five star restaurant) and is more than adequate to tide you over until lunch time. Plus, considering how many options they have, I think anyone who can’t find something to eat is being a bit unreasonable. Basically, it’s above and beyond what I think of for a continental breakfast. They also have a ton of seating; we never had to wait or hover around any tables. We got there on the early side (around 7:30 am on days the park opened at 8:00am), so I don’t know if seating might become a problem later, but it was just fine for us.
Basically, if you want a nice, clean hotel that is a fantastic walking distance from the park, that has a great included breakfast, this is your place. I’ve stayed at a few other hotels on S Harbor, all of which were also clean and fine (basically the rooms are exactly the same and about the same price), but the breakfast is what makes this hotel the clear winner for me. We’ll definitely stay here again.

I only stayed one night here, but the room was clean and had the basic needs of any hotel guest. The free breakfast served in an adjoining restaurant is an economic savings, though the offerings are limited. By far the greatest advantage of this hotel is its proximity to Disneyland. The Disneyland entrance is literally across the street. Being able to walk to Disneyland and avoid any and all commuting is outstanding.

Stayed here with my boyfriend last July for 4 nights for our trip to Disneyland. This hotel is literally the closest you can get to Disneyland besides the Grand Californian. Its proximity to Disneyland alone makes it great in my opinion… no one wants to walk 10 minutes back to their hotel or wait for a crammed shuttle after a long day in the parks. It is also affordable, about $ 150 a night.
They serve a free continental breakfast next door in Captain Kidd’s on the second floor. For those reviews complaining about the food offered, it’s complimentary, what do you expect? If you want to spend $ 30 a person on Minnie and Friends Breakfast in the park go right ahead. I personally didn’t find anything wrong with it, I believe the point is to fill you up for your morning at the park and it does its job.
The rooms are nice, nothing fancy, but do they need to be? When you go to Disneyland you’re really only in your room to sleep. I’m one of those people who feels the need to wear flip flops in most hotel showers and bring my own blankets to sleep in, but I didn’t feel that way here. It is clean and the cleaning staff does an excellent job in my opinion. One morning one woman did leave her bathroom cleaner in our bathroom but she came back for it the next day and it didn’t bother us at all. Mistakes happen and least we knew she cleaned our room!
Overall, I was very pleased staying here. The only downside is it costs $ 10 a day for parking here. Not much you can do about it so we payed the $ 40 and everything was fine. You have to pick your battles. We will be staying here again for our next trip!

Really nice place to stay for Disneyland neighborhood hotel. I’ve stayed at grand Californian to portofino. This checked everything off my list plus location was
PERFECT! This is my key points,
1– CLEAN, no bed bugs no cockroaches no
Stains no smells fresh towels fresh linens
Clean carpet not dusty
2-​CUSTOMER SERVICE, when we got there they had given us a room we didn’t like. We asked to change and they helped us move rooms right away. Really nice and helpful with all our requests.
3-​AFFORDABLE, as far as price it can’t be beat. I really love staying at the Disneyland hotels bc I enjoy being immersed in the magic. But why not save money and stay here and then spend more in the park?! And it didn’t damper our vacation at all.
These are my only NEGATIVES
1-​Breakfast was free but dangerous. Everything looked pre cooked and reheated in a microwave. I couldn’t even enjoy the coffee. After a bite we just left and ate at the park.
2-​Also Even though it was close, you still leave the resort and see the outside world
(IHOP, McDonald’s, Homeless people and so much traffic) sometimes it’s worth paying more not to see.

We have stayed her for over 10 year now. The hotel is the same and the rooms need a major upgrade. The wallpaper and furnishing need to be replaced as well…
The biggest issue is their internet is the WORST! You cannot connect from any room, and calling the help line is no help. I cannot even get LTE, I barley get 3G here. They really need to work on their internet services
It is a great walk to the parks and I love being so close.

We’ve been to Disneyland and have stayed in many Hotels located on Harbor. This BW and Park Vue
are no doubt the closest hotels to the entrance of Disneyland. I don’t even think the hotels on Disneyland property are as close to the entrance as these are. Room was clean, ac worked and housekeeping kept up our room while we walked around the parks. You honestly only go to your rooms during afternoon breaks or to sleep at night, besides that you’re usually away. For location A+ Breakfast can use a little help (Make eggs look like eggs) and it would be even better. We will come back in the future.

This is the best bang for your buck at Disneyland. The hotel «is» literally across the street from Disneyland. This is the only hotel we stay at every year we go to Disneyland. The rooms have been updated since a few of these posted photos. We had a flat screen TV with HBO and cable, It was a nice coming back after a long morning and evening of walking at Disneyland and watch a show. If you want a nice dinner it is very close to a few nice restaurants.
The pool is small but it meets our needs. There is also a hot tub that is well maintained.
The «free» morning buffet is very good. It is nice to start the day with some fresh food, fruit, coffee, juice, eggs, sausage, ham, cold cereal, etc… There is a large selection for a quick breakfast buffet.
The photo with all the maid service carts was during their break or too early in the morning. I never saw this and felt our room was adequately cleaned and the staff was always helpful with every interaction with them.
We arrived at 1100 AM with a scheduled check in of 300 PM. The front receptionist was very helpful and let us park our car (if parking was available). Luckily, there was parking. We immediately went to Disneyland and enjoyed the park. We finished the AM park visit and when we arrived back to the hotel our room was ready on schedule.
We have been staying at this hotel for the past 5 years and have never had any issues. The staff is top notch and the hotel meets our every need and is well maintained.
Oh yea, we were there for the «new» record rainfall in the LA area July 19. Photo attached…

I didn’t stay here as a guest, but had friends from out of town staying here for the Disneys 60^th Celebration. It seems to be a «typical» motel, so why would I do a review for this?
The location.
If you’re looking for an offsite hotel that is walking distance to the Disney theme park, I had to admit that it was literally across the street from the Tram drop off area for the Timon/​Pumba parking area.
Its also walking distance to restaurants along Harbor Boulevard, such as Mimi’s café, McDonalds, and soon to open Panera. There’s also Captain Kidd’s buffet next door, but I wouldn’t set foot there unless you were starving.
When I dropped off my friends, it was a one way driveway, so I had to drive inside the parking area in order to exit. Like most motels, you park near your room. There seemed to be plenty of parking, but then I dropped them off at 6:00 pm, so many tourists may have been out for dinner or sightseeing.
If I had to suggest a location for a tourist, I would recommend this place. I don’t know how good the rooms are, or if they even have breakfast. They do have a small outdoor pool, if that helps.

We really waffled between this and where we usually stay (Embassy Suites on Harbor Blvd) when visiting Disneyland in March of 2015. We took a shot and weren’t disappointed! It’s a hotel/​motel of the basic variety but it did exactly what we needed it to do by providing a «home base» for our Disney trip. It was recently refurbished and since we’ve never stayed, I can’t speak to the upgrades it undertook, but nonetheless, it was comfortable for 4; the hide-​a-​bed was a nice touch. The free breakfast next door wasn’t like the Embassy, but we never left disappointed and the money it saves you is well worth it. To be able to walk across the street and be at the front gates within 10 minutes was phenomenal; no more stressing about missing the last shuttle at night or having to pay x-​amount of $$ for them too.
It cracks me up with some of the pictures that people post about dirty this or dirty that, but give me a camera and let me into your house (or even mine) and I can post pictures like those too. We didn’t feel that this place was dirty or rundown, but we were aware that it definitely wasn’t an Embassy Suites, but with that I’d book this place in a heartbeat over the Embassy. The noise was as to be expected and only woke me up once. The AC was great (but it wasn’t terribly hot either) and storage ample. Staff was friendly, the maid service efficient, and me = happy.

Seriously, this is probably the best place to stay on a trip to Disneyland. It is literally right across the street from the park entrance, it’s inexpensive, and the rooms are decently clean for a motel (all rooms are entered from outside).
We stayed just one night (a Thursday in early May). I was concerned about the parking policy, which states that you can’t have your car in the lot until sometime in the afternoon the day you check in. But they called that morning (while we were en route to Disneyland) to confirm that we were still coming, and I asked them when we could park our car… and they said they weren’t full so we could park right now! Um, awesome! So we rolled up around 8:30 a.m. and I went into the lobby to get a parking pass… and was told that our room was already ready and that we could check in, too! Um, doubly awesome! I’m not sure if you would have that kind of luck during peak times, but it was fantastic to already check into the hotel early in the morning and not have to worry about the car.
We got a king suite with a pull-​out sofa and there was just enough room for a pack & play for our little one to sleep in. There were extra pillows in the closet. It wasn’t a spectacular room by any means, but it was clean and relatively quiet. No complaints if you don’t count my mother’s snoring.
The free breakfast is on the second floor of the Captain Kidd’s restaurant next door, and it was honestly kinda yucky. I’d give this place 5 stars on location alone but that breakfast def left me feeling like I had just eaten anti-​food before my second day at Disney. No real eggs to be found, sausage – while kinda tasty – was mystery meat, and no waffle maker. Get a waffle maker, guys! There was a selection of questionably fresh muffins and bagels. You could also just do cereal or yogurt. The coffee was kinda gross. But hey, it was free and I didn’t have to drop $ 50 on breakfast at the park so I’ll take it.
Another bonus was that we were able to keep our car in the lot past checkout, which policy says you can’t, but they extended our parking since the lot wasn’t full. So if you’re concerned about the parking policy, it can’t hurt to just ask if there’s space.
Highly recommend this hotel!
